Just to give everyone a quick update...we will be traveling to Amelia Island, FL the weekend of August 14th for a womens speaking event. We are excited to ponder on what God is going to do, but also have a lot of nervous energy stored up inside. This is our first speaking engagement and we honestly do not know what to expect. However, we can already see God's hand in the midst of it all. He is speaking and pouring into one of the Yahweh Sisters and then confirming it with another. He is opening up doors for individuals in Amelia Island as they plan for this event that they know is ordained by God. Prayers are being answered.
Our lives over the summer are always slightly bit more chaotic than when school is in, so we do not get as much time to talk amongst ourselves or see each other and discuss what is going on and where we are at with God. This can be a bit stressful when you are supposed to be planning an event together and have no idea where to begin or what the others are working on or what direction God is pulling them. You begin to wonder if we are all going in the same direction. Yet, God shows us that giving it to Him and allowing Him to orchestrate it will bring it all together in the end. We have to trust that He has called us to this point and that He will equip and bring us through it.
So, we are excited to know (after talking) that so far we are on the same page, going in the same direction, and allowing God to continue to speak to us as He wants to. God's timing is not as ours is, and in saying that, He is also never late.
We can't wait to see what God has in store and we hope that you will begin to prepare now for that day. If you are going to be attending the event, begin to pray for God to speak to you and be open for whatever God has in store for you. Come expecting and we will do the same. I know that God can move mountains and calm the sea, so whatever it is we need for Him to do...He can do. It is not about us...we are just the vessels. God is going to show Himself to you that day and we are excited to see Him move.

Trusting (even with the small things)

Where do I even begin? Maybe with...I'm sorry.
The Yahweh Sisters have not fallen off of this earth, and in fact, we are still right here in Charlotte where we have been the whole time.

So, why aren't we blogging? I will give you some reasons, but sometimes I feel that reasons are just excuses for getting too caught up in the things around us or for our own laziness.
Robbie has been holding a bible study this summer and it has taken up a lot of her time. With a new season in her walk with God, she has found that also comes more studying and preparation for what God places in her hands to do.
We have also been trying to prepare for our speaking engagement to come in August in Amelia Island, FL. You hear about how much goes into such a thing as this, but until you have to walk it out, you really never know. It has consumed us with numerous hours of reading, studying, praying, and listening for the voice of God to speak to each of us.
With that also has come attacks...both in the physical and in the spiritual realm.
I wish I could tell you all that has went on, and if God wants to use one of the situations for His glory and for me to blog, then I will, but until then....I will hold onto some of the details.
This blog was a beginning for us...to share and open up to ourselves and to you. We never knew where God would take it or who would read it. All we wanted was to share and hopefully touch at least one individual with what God was speaking to us.
So, I apologize for our absence to it. I hope that you will hold on and wait patiently with us as we continue to prepare for what God wants to do at this upcoming engagement.
We have had to step back just for a moment and put our focus on another aspect of our ministry, but that does not mean we have walked away from it (we are still in the learning aspect of this whole thing that God is doing with us). We will be back and I know that God will continue to pour out His words onto this blog in His timing.
Until then, I pray that the fire of God consumes your souls with the burning desire to seek Him and find Him and He explodes anew inside of you causing you to run hard after Him again and afresh.
